With the introduction of the bar manager, Lin Yu quickly arrived at a secluded booth.
Although the booth was secluded, it was actually shrouded in dim lighting and hidden by a beaded curtain. From the outside, apart from its good location, there was really nothing special about it.
Lin Yu followed the manager of the bar into the room, and as soon as he entered, he noticed the special features of the booths.
That's the area.
This booth is much larger than the others.
Lin Yu had previously walked around the entire bar, so he knew its layout very well. Normally, a large booth is no more than ten square meters, but this booth was exceptionally large!
Lin Yu roughly estimated that it was at least thirty square meters, more than three times the size of a typical large booth!
The booths were already filled with many creatures, most of which were humanoid, but there were also quite a few strangely shaped creatures mixed in.
That's not even the most outrageous part; the most outrageous part is the things placed on the table.
This enormous booth has more than just drinks on the table; it also contains a number of prohibited items, openly displayed.
None of the creatures present showed the slightest change in expression, as if it were perfectly natural for them to put things on the table.
Lin Yu was a man of great experience, and this situation was nothing more than a minor matter for him, so his expression remained unchanged.
The bar manager was also secretly observing Lin Yu's expression. Seeing his calm demeanor, he immediately understood and assumed that Lin Yu was one of those people who did "big business".
Thinking of this, the bar manager smiled and greeted the guests already seated in the booth, then explained to Lin Yu, "As you can see, this is one of our bar's highest-class booths. Although it's a random booth, it's reserved for our bar's VIP clients."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is Mr. Lin Yu, who has just been promoted to a VIP customer of our establishment. Although he is an outsider, he is easygoing and generous. Please give me some face and don't make things difficult for him."
"Hahaha, what are you saying? How could we possibly make things difficult for him? Since he's here, we're brothers. Come on, sit next to your big brother."
No sooner had the bar manager finished speaking than a creature with horns on its head spoke up, patting the seat next to it while laughing, though the smile was anything but friendly.
"Young man, you're new here, how about we play cards and get to know each other better? I think we don't need to bet too much, just a thousand dollars a hand, and the winner can treat everyone here to some snacks."
The horned creature's eyes were almost squinting; it goes without saying what the "snack" it was talking about was.
The manager of the bar hadn't expected this guy to speak so soon after he finished speaking. The smile on his face immediately turned even more bitter. He knew it; in front of these powerful figures, what face did he have?
"My esteemed Lord Mortis, your card skills are renowned throughout the Exiled World. Just the other day, a major casino added your name to their blacklist. Who would dare challenge you to a game?"
"Besides, a thousand gold coins is enough to become a junior member of our bar, which is no small amount. Mr. Lin Yu is new here, so please don't scare him."
The bar manager tried to smooth things over, but Timothy clearly didn't take his words seriously.
Timothy simply waved his hand dismissively and said impatiently, "Alright, alright. Stop dawdling and go back to where you came from. Are you all stupid enough to be standing here? All you do is worry about things that aren't your business."
Upon hearing this, the bar manager looked at Lin Yu with pity. In his eyes, Lin Yu was no different from a fat sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
Unfortunately, Mortis was determined to make a move against Lin Yu. How could that kind of guy change his mind just because I said a few words to him?
"Mr. Lin Yu, please be careful. Mr. Mortis's card skills are unparalleled even in our Exiled World. Don't act rashly." The bar manager didn't forget to give Lin Yu a careful word of advice as he left.
Lin Yu smiled and nodded, replying, "Thanks for the reminder."
Lin Yu knew in his heart that the bar manager wasn't worried about his safety. After all, he had only just arrived in the Exiled World today, and this was his first time at the bar. How deep could his relationship with the bar manager be?
The manager of this bar was simply relying on him because he was a big spender and he was counting on him to boost the bar's sales figures.
If Lin Yu had only been at the bar for a day and had already been traumatized by Mo Tixi, it would be difficult to see Lin Yu drinking there again.
However, compared to offending Mortis, this was all the bar manager could do.
Being driven by profit is indeed in line with the nature of the creatures in this kind of situation.
Lin Yu shook his head dismissively, then plopped down next to Mortis and asked, "Brother, how are you planning to play this hand?"
As soon as Lin Yu said this, all the other creatures present immediately focused their attention on Lin Yu.
Their gazes held a variety of expressions: surprise, curiosity, inquiry, and schadenfreude—a veritable mix of emotions.
Lin Yu was secretly grateful to Motisi. He had been worried about finding an opportunity to make a name for himself in this booth, to let these guys see his skills, and to get more information from them.
But to his surprise, just as he was worrying about this, an opportunity came knocking on his door.
This opportunity is practically handed to us, so why not take it?
"Yo?!" Mortis raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Yu with a somewhat strange expression.
He had originally planned to fleece this sucker, since the bar manager had just introduced him as an "alien visitor" who probably didn't have much influence in the Exile World.
But to his surprise, the manager of the bar was so oblivious that he exposed his identity the moment he spoke.
Motixi also thought that Lin Yu would politely decline after learning his identity and no longer want to play cards with him, so he would find some opportunities to deceive him.
To my surprise, this kid seemed even more foolish than I had imagined. Before I could even say anything, he had already brought it up himself.
Mortis pushed aside the beauty beside him and looked Lin Yu up and down with interest. "What, didn't you hear what the bar manager said just now?"
